Now there is still no rain, Gao Fangping judged: God help me this time, the drought in Western Xia has become a foregone conclusion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Earlier, Gao Fangping was not in a hurry to gnaw at the fortified city of Xiping Mansion, and planned to adopt a waiting strategy to lead out the White Horse Military Division and the Right Wing Military Division to encircle and annihilate in the field again.

This tactical idea was actually based on the fact that the Tanguts could not afford to consume it.

Li Qianshun's country is not really stable, if he is forced to start to act against the Western Xia magnates and harmonize their money and food, it will be the last straw that crushes the Western Xia, and they will fight a civil war without Gao Fangping raising troops.

If Xiao Heda does not move the powerful and only robs the common people of Western Xia, then he will not fight a civil war for the time being, but he will continue to corrupt the credibility of the Western Xia regime, and the damage will be greater in the long run.

In the comparatively now, those Western Xia people who can't survive will have a large group of people surnamed Song.

At the same time, the bloody grievances will completely exhaust the potential of the Western Xia and swallow up the achievements of people's livelihood since the Sinicization reform of Chago. Let them go back to the past overnight, and they will not want to relax for twenty years. What's more, they also faced strong harassment from the group of Hui horse thieves from the northwest.

The biggest confidence is that the Song Kingdom did not suffer a disaster this year, and it was said by Cai Jing's old thief: Ruixue Zhaofeng Year.

Thanks to Cai Xianggong's auspicious words, there are countless people in the Great Song Dynasty who like him now, so the old guy is really resurrected in a full state.

The Great Song Dynasty did have a bumper harvest, but it was not because of what Cai Xianggong said, but because of the implementation of the awesome water conservancy projects in Jiangzhou, Kaifeng Mansion, and Daimyo's Mansion, the improvement of planting efficiency under the improvement of agricultural tools, the application of the second generation of hybrid rice by Ding Er, a doctor of agriculture, and the development of a large number of terraced fields that could not be used, and so on.

Now it's amazing, this year, one-third of the grain merchants in the Great Song Dynasty are crying blind because they miscalculated. Since last year, they have judged that there is war, and of course war is the easiest to bring about the crazy price of food in ancient times, so those people began to hoard food very early, which is the old routine. They tried every means to fool the people and the government into selling them the most grain stockpiles.

Pei Yancheng of the Daimyo Mansion and Li Gang of Jiangzhou wrote to ask Gao Fangping if he was selling? Gao Fangping replied: Sell it to them, give as much as you want.

So those grain merchants were happy with the grain, and they bought it at a high price. However, after the end of the war in China, the average grain price of the Great Song Dynasty fell on the contrary, although the output of the northwest was reduced.

There's nothing wrong with it, of course it's going to fall if there's more stuff.

Now the rice and soybeans in the Daimyo's mansion, the double-cropping rice in Jiangzhou, how crazy and crazy, and the grain is so much that these grain merchants doubt life. This will make them lose all their money, and the old grain they hoarded at a high price at the beginning is difficult to sell now when everyone is not too poor, unless it is at least three layers cheaper than the new grain, and no one will take over.

Then the person who takes over at three levels below the market price is the supply and demand department of the Northwest Transshipment Division.

After directly using the exchange method to allocate the money to their grain merchants who were about to jump off the building, Gao Fangping became their People's Liberation Army, although they couldn't get rid of it, but at least they had the opportunity to stop the loss and cut the meat.

For this era, transportation is a big problem, and it is a pressure on both the grain merchants who supply it and the Northern Transshipment Division.

The pressure is not afraid, Gao Fangping helps them solve it.

As early as more than a year ago, after Gao Fangping sold a large number of shares in Qianzhuang to cash out, the largest amount of money was used to buy ships, and Gao Fangping's own shipping company was established. Gao Fangping's ship purchase order has made Bianjing Shipyard and Jiangnan Shipyard grow a lot.

As a result, now Gao Fangping is the biggest red-top profiteer, and he uses his position to let the public funds of the Northwest Transshipment Division buy the Gao family's "shipping service".

Yes, now the entire logistics of the Northwest, including the transportation of various materials connecting the north and the south, is really in a state of hunger and thirst. The cake of the transportation market, that's really big to the point of madness. If you have a boat, you can make money with your eyes closed.

Guan Qi and Ximen Qing cried blindly, thinking that Gao Fangping was the biggest shark in the world, and he was always prescient. Guan Qi and Ximen Qing regretted it, why didn't they see this step in the first place, and didn't buy a boat after taking all their family property for financing?

Anyway, Guan Qi still has a few big boats in his hand, and he can participate in eating some bones or something, while Ximenqing washes and sleeps. If you place an order now, the order queue of Jiangnan Shipyard will be three years later, and the ship of Bianjing Shipyard will be more expensive, but it will also be queued up for a year and a half.

Damn, now all households are buying Gao Fangping's transportation services! You can imagine how ruthless Gao Fangping is. He wasn't too ugly, but he made more money than any corrupt official, and no one knew how much money the calf had now.

However, Gao Fangping said to Ximen Qing and Guan Qi that it is still not too late, and they want to support the manufacturing of the Great Song Dynasty, so they just need to queue up to buy a ship, and they will expand the production line when there are many orders.

At the same time, Gao Fangping gave Jiangnan Shipyard the highest instructions to expand production again, rely on the current profits to continue to climb the technology tree, and develop a giant with a displacement of 10,000 tons. Then, the 3,000-ton ship technology developed earlier was sold to the Ministry of Industry's Department of Civil Construction for cash.

@#￥

The Ministry of Industry knows that it has been pitted, but it still has to pay for these outdated technologies.

Yes, Gao Fangping is still the head of the Royal Jiangnan Shipyard, and the shipyard is not under the control of Shi Jingjie.

So then again, what did Gao Fangping do with the reputation of the Northern Transshipment Division this time to buy a large number of "expired grains"?

The answer is to sell it to the people of Western Xia.

In the occupied areas, Gao Fangping's earlier policy of not taking a stitch from the people has won everyone's trust.

During the drought in Western Xia, there was not enough food to feed the stomach, and there was not enough forage for cattle, sheep and horses. So the people of Western Xia are very cute. They had only two ways, slaughtering the cows, horses, and sheep and eating them, and after eating, of course, they had to eat grass roots, tree bark, or people.

However, the "pseudo-master" of Yaode City told everyone that Gao Fangping is compassionate, as the ruler of the enemy country, he is willing to sell food to everyone, well, although it is a bit expired, but it can also be eaten.

The Tangut people trusted the monk very much, although it was a wine and meat monk with a knife hidden under his robe, but everyone still trusted, so there were people who ate crabs first, and brought their horses to Gao Fangping and asked if they could exchange some food.

The big-headed man said, okay, the doll at home has not eaten for many days.

Gao Fangping agreed, so the big-headed man left a two-year-old horse and ran away with a generation of grain.

As a result, he was captured by the soldiers of the Tiger Head Battalion, and he begged for mercy with tears in his eyes: "Let me go, the doll at home is waiting to eat." ”

Gao Fangping said, "I said what are you running?" Why do you think that a bag of twenty pounds of grain can be exchanged for a horse? ”

The big-headed people of Western Xia were very closed and simple, and they didn't understand anything. The reason why he ran was that he felt that he had taken too much, and if he changed to the Western Xia government to collect horses in the disaster year, it would be good if he didn't confiscate it, and giving ten catties was already a great gift.

"What do you mean ......," the big-headed man hesitated.

Gao Fangping gave him a slap on the head, "Although I am a hooligan, I am also a person with a bottom line, twenty catties of grain, I will definitely not be able to exchange for a two-year-old horse, at least four ...... Ten pounds. ”

Gao Fangping originally wanted to give 400 catties, but the nature of the profiteer suddenly attacked, and he changed his words to 40 catties.

In this regard, the cheeks of all the Song Army officers behind him turned black, this is too obscene, it is simply a huge profit in a profiteering.

However, the happy head of the big-headed people of Western Xia tilted their heads and fell to the ground. In such a plague year, he did not know that a horse could be worth so much. This is incredible, sure enough, the thug monk with the sharp knife does not deceive me, Gao Fangping is a good person.

Most of the people who had exchanged for food went home happy. He plans to bring something more tomorrow in exchange. Because horse meat is so unpalatable, it is better to eat it than to eat it with grain. If you don't change it, the horse will starve to death if you don't have enough forage to feed it. If it weren't for the fact that the Western Xia government was driven away, in fact, these things would have been confiscated long ago.

As for beef and mutton, the commoners of Western Xia did not want to change it for the time being, because beef and mutton were better than grain.

The people of Western Xia don't know if Gao Fangping can change magic, because Mao has so much food that is constantly being transported, which makes people red-eyed.

However, under Gao Fangping's rule, he couldn't rob it, so after the news spread, Gao Fangping's reputation became greater, and everyone trusted him, and all kinds of herdsmen in the vicinity came with overwhelming cattle and horses, waiting to exchange for food.

There are fewer cattle and the most horses.

These are not traditional farming cattle, but Gao Fangping collected them, killed them after collecting them, and made flavored beef jerky, which can be sent to Bianjing to defraud the money of the powerful, damn it, this is more profitable than a horse.

So is it only cattle and horses that can be traded, and what about civilians who don't have cattle and horses.

Gao Fangping gave them the answer: If it is something, it can be sold for money, ore, coal, waste knives, especially high-quality leather goods, all kinds of herbs, as long as you have it, Guan Qi and Ximen Qing will accept it, and I Gao Fangping will collect it if these two profiteers do not accept it.

If you want something, you are not allowed to steal or rob, and you can rely on picking up waste to sell, which can also ensure that you have food to make ends meet.

Guan Qi and Ximen Qing finally understood that Gao Fangping sent troops to Western Xia not to fight, but obviously for trade. He Xiaogao is the largest military-industrial complex in the Great Song Dynasty and the biggest beneficiary of war dividends.

As a result, treacherous people such as Guan Qi and Ximenqing understood one thing before anyone else: the ultimate purpose of war is for money. Damn, don't talk about the calves of national righteousness, that's fooling fools, sure enough, the Great Demon King has a famous saying, everything in the world is for money.

Visually, he Gao Fangping is afraid that he will be able to harvest tens of thousands of war horses, as well as countless beef jerky, cowhides, and sheepskins at a nearly free price in Western Xia, and then bring them back to the Great Song Dynasty.

Count it as dead grass......
